Wilson is almost as fast as Ford is and is waaaaay faster than Maruo or Briggs. He will help in that regard big time. Even Clements if he were healthy would have been huge against Ottawa.

JuranBoldenRules Posted August 10, 2023 Report Posted August 10, 2023 Pass rush needs to be disciplined. No awards for cutting inside and racing past the QB who's running by you. Get hands up so he can't see downfield, work into the pocket but keep him in there. Piggy 1, HardCoreBlue, rebusrankin and 4 others 2 5
Pepper_Brooks Posted August 10, 2023 Report Posted August 10, 2023 Maintain contain, maintain contain, maintain contain. That's the defensive line game plan required against a mobile quarterback with minimal game footage. Force him to rely on his throwing ability, and ensure you don't let him escape the pocket. It sounds simple, but it becomes challenging when you're tired. We'll rely on our offense to keep themselves on the field and give the defensive players a break, especially since our defensive line rotation isn't ideal at the moment, to put out lightly.

I'd wager he's the quickest person on the team. A true athlete in every sense. He's the one I'd choose to spy Ford throughout the entire game. He deserves a bigger role Blue-urns and Bigblue204 2
Bigblue204 Posted August 10, 2023 Report Posted August 10, 2023 Cole made a few noticable plays last week...for the life of me I can't remember what they were lol....but I remember saying his name a few times. JCon and wbbfan 2

He deserves a bigger role We don’t really know what to expect from the Ford-era Elks, but the RPO stuff eats up the spy. Would rather the LBs be active in rushing or coverage personally. If everyone plays disciplined that’s better than a spy. JCon, Blue-urns, Pepper_Brooks and 1 other 4

He executed a beautiful blitz from the second level, charging towards the Lions' quarterback. He didn't secure a sack, but his intense pressure affected the throw significantly. He surged forward with remarkable speed, like a laser beam. Bigblue204 1

Booch Posted August 10, 2023 Report Posted August 10, 2023 always liked him and was miffed why he never got any reps....extremely fast for a linebacker and hits hard Noeller, Blue-urns, wbbfan and 1 other 4

Bomber_fanaddict Posted August 10, 2023 Report Posted August 10, 2023 For the stats gurus. When is the last time a team put up back to back 50 Burgers and/or has it ever happened before? Mark F and Noeller 2
Noeller Posted August 10, 2023 Report Posted August 10, 2023 I'll say this... I'm in the pre game tailgate area (honestly just sad compared to Wade's version) and there is ZERO faith among the locals. Even the band on stage making jokes about Edmonton having no chance... I almost feel bad for them. It's gotta be tough. Even at our worst, we weren't THIS bad (10 losses to start 98 but never shut out, let alone twice...)
